fanad is a tough place to go and get a result.... strong team, always a big local support, big community!
its a long trip for any MSL to USL tie, but Fanad is approx 2hours from bundoran.

They've been there before and won, Dale are a very experienced team and have a lot of winners medals.
Although its a remote place by al accounts

Bonagee United 1 - 2 Drogheda Town

Shocking how Bonagee lost this one, they should have been 4 or 5 up by half time. Missed a penalty, hit the bar and missed a few one on ones. 2 chances for Drogs and they scored both.

Glenvilel 0-4 Crumlin Utd

**CB04** · 16/02/2010, 1:01 AM

Bonagee made pay for poor finishing. Drogheda the opposite. 3shots, 2goals.
The reaction from the Drog camp was definitely, 'got out of jail'.
Quarter finals will be interesting all round.
Will be good to see Avondale in action in Donegal

Tis no wonder Mount are favourites after another soft home draw.
Avondales current form is awful, they'll need to improve bigtime to get a result up North.

Where is the final on this year?? Please don't say Rockmount Park

I'd say it will depend on who is in the final.

Why would it be rockmount park? It would be turners cross if it was in cork

Billy, if you had read earlier posts, there was a joke made about Rockmount always getting home draws and Razor mentioned that it would be in whitechurch if Rockmount could get away with it.

So i was just carrying on the joke.

Thanks for your input though

Fanad are a cracking side too, should be a good game.
I might stick a few quid on Fanad at 11's because if they get past Avondale their odds will be slashed.

Am I right in saying that these 8 sides enter the FAI Cup 1st Round proper where another draw is made? When is this draw for the 1st Round proper made? I think the Eircom/LOI sides enter at the 2nd Round stage. I could be wrong though...

I think you are correct.

Last year the 1st and 2nd round was made at the same time, with some clubs recieving byes for the 2nd round. The teams in the pot were 16 FAI Intermediate clubs (4th rd. participants) + FAI LoI 'A' Championship first team clubs + Junior clubs.
The ten winners went on to compete against the First Div. and Premier Div. clubs of the LoI in the third round.
Timings 1st round last weekend in April, 2nd rd. last weekend in May.
Is this changed?

**Sam_Heggy** · 24/02/2010, 8:18 AM

Could be wrong but,

1st Round of FAI Cup is made up of:

Last 16 teams from the Intermediate Cup.
Last 4 teams from the Junior Cup
The 5 A League teams.

The 22 Senior clubs enter in the second round.

The numbers don't add up though, so, Harpojoyce could be spot on with 2 rounds played before Senior clubs enter.

Fanad Utd 1-2 Avondale Utd

Dale were 1 up after 15 minutes through Mark O'Sullivan but then lost a player on the half hour when John Cotter was sent off.
Fanad equalised with 15 left but Andrew Knowles got the winner with 3 minutes left.
